Re: 2005 honda odyssey lx [mom24gurlz]
That price seems unusually low. One of the easiest ways to find a comparison for your car is to go to one of the car sites, edmunds, autotrader, nada, kellybluebook, and put in the info to find pricing. If you put in 2005 in autotrader most of the cars w/ 139,000 are being sold around $10-12,000. Given that you are buying it at a dealer I'd want to know why they ... Read More

2005 honda odyssey lx
I am in the process of purchasing this vehicle with 139,000 miles on it and the asking price is $6995 from a dealership. Should I pay this price or should I try talking them down some. This will be a second vehicle for me.

Re: Please, I need good advise on Odyssey Touring 2006 [bbjlaw]
I would consider an alternative if I am to take a loan to buy the Van. 1. Honda Vans are highly priced than other minivans in the same class. Why?? They hold their value very well. That means for the same amount of money you would get a newer and low mirage option. 2. I would rather buy an older vehicle that would not tie me in a loan for the ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey 2010 EX...WORST VEHICLE IN 35 YEARS! [blackexv6]
I have a 2002 Odyssey which I bought new in Canada. The 1999-2004 was called LaGreat in Japan with V6 engines. The 2005-2012 built in Alabama are Japanese Dylson (I think this is the name[ see web site below]). The Odyssey minivans without sliding doors have and are still built in Japan with both 4 and 6 cyl engines. They are not the same style as the USA Odyssey (which really ... Read More

2012 Odyssey Wind Noise
Bought a 2012 Odyssey Touring to replace a 2005 Touring.... Wind noise is incredible... I am floored that Honda let this out and is not addressing it... We have Bluetooth for the phone and it is impossible to hold a conversation when on a freeway.. Hopefully they will address it soon.

Re: 2002 Odyssey Transmission failure (73K) [planetarytras]
Are you saying till 2007 the filter position has not been changed. You indicated that they fail between 80k to 125k miles. Has that improved with the 2007 and above models? I have a 2005 Odyssey with only 21k miles on it, and hope it will service me for years to come. My daughter's 2002 had to have a transmission replace by 100,700 miles, and Honda wouldn't do anything about it. ... Read More

Paid $32,650 for the vehicle, $1,446 in tax, and about $310 in other fees, for a total of $34,406. Received $9,300 for the trade, costing me $25,106 out the door.

Re: Best minivan 4 kids in carseats [apikalek]
The two better options for you are the Sienna (as mentioned above) and the 2005+ Odyssey. Problem is....$15k doesn't buy you much in the Honda/Toyota world. We sold our '05 Ody last spring with 100k miles for more than that. In that price/age range, the Ody feels more roomy. As mentioned above if you want folding 2nd row seats the Dodge/Chrysler is the only game in town. Since you mentioned wanting ... Read More

I have experienced this noise for 3 years already on Honda OD 2005 (current: 75k miles). It happens on and off and always after the brake cool off.

Re: Honda Odyssey Rated Not Reliable [gene00]
The new year models are usually rated excellent. The 2011 Odyssey gets fair on two points namely Body Hardware and Power Equipment and good on three points Electrical, Squeaks/rattles and Audio. 2007 and 2008 are also not as good as one would hope. My take on it is that the Odyssey is still a good minivan I particularly like the 2005-2010 generation for its routine and emergency handling. If the reviews ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [sreiss]
Finally got disgusted with my 07 and traded for a 2011 Toyota Highlander. No more Hondas. Ever! Went through the whole gambit. Torque converter replaced. Fuel economy went to HE@@. Multiple re programs. Arbitration, (a joke). Free at last. Free at last. Received another recall the other day to re program again to prevent premature trans shaft ware. Anything to keep from really fixing the trans issues.

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [deelee]
The full warranty was extended to 60K, or just the torque converter? I seem to recall something specific being extended but I don't recall the entire warranty being extended to 60K. My primary reason for extending the warranty was that if something this major went wrong, I did not want to take a chance on something else going terribly wrong. Basically, the cost of the extended warranty was cheaper than getting ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [sreiss]
Are you aware that the warranty on your 2007 was extended to sixty thousand miles because of this issue with the torque converter? If you bought the warranty before 60,000 it was still under warranty. Also since you had the torque converter replaced once you will be covered for this issue for the life of the car.

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [blackexv6]
I can 2nd or 3rd other comments here - I had this fixed (fortunately under warranty) on a 2007 Ody in January of 2010. No problems since. There have been additional software updates made when I've had it back to the dealer for other servicing. I had the broken motor mount issue fixed at the same time, and all has been well since then. Be careful that an unaddressed torque converter ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [blackexv6]
I also had my torque converter replaced two years ago on my 2007 Honda Odyssey. It had around 45,000 miles on it at that time. I haven't had a problem since. They have also given me several software upgrades and fixed a recall on the brakes, something to do with the master cylinder. I think the software updates made it burn more gas although I couldn't prove it. I've got my ... Read More

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [blackexv6]
I replaced mine over 20K miles ago and no problems. They made me pay $790 of the $1800 they said it would cost. They had also told me to replace the motor mounts for $950 each but I never did that and still no problems.

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [blackexv6]
My 2007 had that problem , and in September 2009 Honda replaced the torque converter. It's been 2 years and about 45,000 miles later without any evidence of the problem recurring. Maybe I just got lucky. (lucky it was still under warranty)

Re: 2005 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [car2008]
We have a 2006 EXL/NAV/RES with 94k with the shuddering problem (defective torque converter). Our Honda service adviser told me not to waste our money replacing it.

I never had this problem after 30 minutes of driving. Also, if I turn off o/d, the problem disappears so I am certain,it has nothing to do with engine mounts. I drove stick shift before. When ...

Re: Looking to buy a used minivan for $6-7K [ateixeira]
Thanks for the responses guys. I had thought that the First Generation Sienna had some type of issue with sludging and tranny issues. My dad had the 2002 Odyssey and Honda was gracious enough to fix his issues for free as they extended the warranty for him. But I should not look at anything earlier than 2003? With regards to two kids, I should have specified, I have two kids but ... Read More

TSB 10-076 repair question
I notice it was issued on November 25, 2010, less than a month ago. I spoke with my local service manager on December 9 during oil change, complaining about low speed/parking lot power steering failure, he said he did not know anything about that, and recommended that I change power steering fluid to start with. I suspect he probably already knew it is a pump failure that requires replacement with upgraded ... Read More

Fix for Steering Wheel Hard to Turn Quickly at Low Speeds
TSB 10-076 - Steering Wheel Is Hard to Turn Quickly at Low Speeds Applies To: 2005–10 Odyssey – ALL Google for TSB 10-076 and read about this fix in the Ody forum. I had this problem on the 2008 Ody. Hard to turn at low speed but pump didn't make any noise. I showed the TSB to the Service Adviser at the Honda dealer. They replaced the PS Pump with w/o ... Read More

Re: 2005 Odyssey with Starting Problems [6_of_us]
We had our van towed only to find out that it had too little gas in the tank (>1/4) while parked on our steep inclined driveway causing the fuel pump relay not to register the amount of gas in the tank!? Other than this issue we've been pleased and are hoping that it'll last as long and as healthy a life as my 1998 Honda Accord V6 w/248k miles did! Right ... Read More

2005 Odyssey with Starting Problems
For over a year I experienced intermittent starting problems. After several trips to the Dealer, several attempts to re-create the problem (without success), the car finally died for good. We had it towed to the Dealer and they could not get it started. Battery had full charge, starter/ignition kill switch checked out fine. All cables leading to/from the battery to the starter were fine at the connectors. As a last resort ... Read More

EX-L; Black and Tan
I paid 27,200 for 2008 EX-L. Lots of Chicago Dealers at that price. Got $17,100 for my 2005 Odyssey EX-L with 59,000 miles. Thinking of getting honda care warranty and keeping this one for years.

Re: 2005 Odyssey problems [commercialguy]
Be careful about putting any fluids other than Honda into your transmission. If you tell them or they see a change in the color of the fluid it will null and void any warranty on it.

Re: 2005 Odyssey problems [jpzkz]
I agree with the other guy you need a torque converter. They tried the same bull on me lets replace the motor mounts at $950 a pop and see if it corrects the problem. The motor mounts are probably broken also but they are not causing the problem most likely. The torque converter solved my problem. Good way to do a cheap test is put some Shudder Stop in and if ...

Re: 2005 Odyssey problems [chadinmadison]
I have a 2005 with 80K on it and have been monitoring the vibration problem on it. It is slowly getting worse and it is indeed the motor mount failing. When drivetrain gets under a bit of a load and the transmission has not downshifted, this is when you notice it most... this is the engine/tranny shaking as the mount is taking this stress. The part is expensive and so is ... Read More

Re: 2005 Odyssey problems [patstl2010]
FWIW, I have a 2007 Ody and have had both the torque converter and an engine mount replaced. This was within about 2 1/2 years of having the car, and around 30,000 miles. Symptoms were juddering at about 35 mph (common problem attributed to torque converter problems) and a hard thunk on downshift. This would typically happen on a fairly rapid deceleration at, say, a stop light. A long, gradual slowing ... Read More

Re: 2005 Odyssey problems [chadinmadison]
Can you clarify. Did the motor mount solve the problem? I've got the 2005 Touring Odyssey and sounds like same problem. My dealer first told me Torque Converter and Motor Mounts. Then I took to transmission place since Honda would not cover under warranty (79,000 miles). It's still ridiculous that a Honda should have such problems. Anyway the transmission place said no problem with transmission and the motor mounts while slightly ... Read More

Traffic on Navigation System
I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey with built in navigation and XM radio. I want to get the real time traffic on the navigation system. I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago from XM ($3.99 month). So far (with TONS of calls and re-sending the signal to the car, etc) I still don't have this installed on my car. I am wondering if there is some sort of compatibility issue? Just ... Read More

Honda Odyssey A/C Temperature Control Problem
My Honda Odyssey 2005 has developed the following problem. We normally set the temperature control on 72 and on AUTO, and it has worked fine for 5 years for both heating and cooling. This past summer the air from the front vents started coming out warm. We had to keep turning the temp down to get cold air out the front vents. Now it has to be about 64 before we ... Read More

Re: 2011 Touring / Touring Elite Negotiation Experience [gazenick]
That is completely outrageous. Take your business elsewhere. Alabama, location of Honda's factory, is not that far Texas. There should be better pricing elsewhere in your area. Clearly, the dealer is being too greedy. I had a similar experience when I got my 2005 Pilot where after all the papers were signed, I realized that I overpaid $4K! Even though I get my cars serviced at their shop, I vowed never ... Read More

2007 Honda Odyssey CD Stuck in my radio
I had the same problem with my 2005 Chrysler T&C, dealer was salivating at the chance to "replace the unit for $850.00". Studied everything I could, hit all the forums, luckily, before attempting to tear the CD/DVD out of the car, it spit out the errant DVD as I kept trying to repeatedly hit the "play/eject" buttons as I'd done for nearly two months on a daily basis. Keep trying to ... Read More

Re: I would wait before buying first year of model... [alan_c]
A weird thing about new auto designs is that - at first just about everyone including professional auto writers either have a positive or negative view. After about 6 months the negatives are pretty well replaced with positives. I have not seen the design upclose; just in the pictures. I like it as the front seems more to the design of my 2002. It do not particularly like the 2005-2010 fronts. ... Read More

Re: More info on Odyssey Alignment Pull Fix [timfahy]
The turning is much easier now and I can steer with almost one finger or just rest my hand on the bottom of the wheel when I drive. I like to drive it and no longer avoid/dread driving the van. Before I had to grip the wheel all the time and could never let it go or I'd be in another lane! I didn't replace my strut mount bearings when I ... Read More

No. When the time comes they will dig through your wallet no matter what you say about them. Just ask how much it costs to replace a cabin air filter on a >05 and ... Read More

Fixed hard steering on my 2007 Odyssey
If you have hard steering and the car seems to wander on the road even after an alignment then you may have the same problem I had. This seems to affect 2006-2008+ Odyssey's that had the new struts to make the ride softer than the 2005. I had a 2005 and it had hard suspension (rode very stiff). Honda used different struts starting in 2006 to make a soft ride. I ... Read More

Video links of what I found 2007 from my Odyssey Struts
The following are links to where you can download videos of what I found. I also took a picture of the Honda manual. My van now drives wonderfully. No hard steering, no drifting, no pulling, no memory steer, no sore wrists, and dare I say it a delight to drive (just like my 2005 was). I thought I might have to replace the rack or pump, but the problem was because ... Read More

Re: Just found the spring seat alignment problem on my 2007 Odyssey [amberdr]
Just finished with the right strut and took it to Big O for a free alignment check and printout for free. I aligned it just last month, twice at this Big O, and it still pulled left most of the time, but my wrists hurt when I drove more than 30 minutes because of it. The steering was also very hard before, like it was too much effort on all turns ... Read More

Re: 2005 Odyssey Trans Shudder [j orb]
I asked about a software update hoping that it could be a quick and easy solution but Honda told me that there were no software update solutions for the 2005 models. Apparently that is not available until the 2008 and later models. By the way they also told me that in 2008 they started using the Ridgeline transmission in the Odyssey. Ironically they too suffer from the shudder issue although can ... Read More

Re: 2005 Odyssey Trans Shudder [2005_exl_owner]
Following up with the final outcome from Honda. They replaced the entire transmission with remanufactured one. Shudder problem is gone at least for now. The bill which was at a discounted rate came to $4004.00 but the warranty covered it and had no deductible. If it was on my dime Honda told me it would be approximately $4500.00 Honda exaggerated the issues (added things like trans slipping etc.) on the form ... Read More
